Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods.

No, it is a polysaccharide that makes up the exoskeletons of arthropods.
Chitin itself is a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans, and it is not alive and therefore does not eat. However, chitin can be broken down by certain organisms such as bacteria and fungi as a food source.
Chitin is a polysaccharide. So, it is a polymer of many monosaccharides. In the case of chitin, the monosaccharide subunit that makes up it polymeric structure is N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of crabs, lobsters, and insects. It is a structural molecule that provides strength and protection to these arthropods. Chitin is composed of N-acetylglucosamine units and is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature after cellulose.
A chitin that makes up the exoskeleton of insects is not made out of a polymer of amino acids. Chitin is a nitrogen that contains polysaccharide.
Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods, while cellulose is a structural polysaccharide found in plants, providing rigidity to cell walls. Chitin contains nitrogen, making it tougher and more flexible than cellulose. Additionally, chitin is not as abundant in nature as cellulose.
The exoskeleton is made of chitin, a polysaccharide.
